The 2023 presidential candidate of the Labour Party (LP), Peter Obi, has officially defected from the LP to the African Democratic Congress (ADC).

Mr Obi announced the decision on Tuesday during a political rally at the Nike Lake Resort Hotel in Enugu.

“We are ending this year with the hope that in 2026 we will begin a rescue journey,” Mr Obi, a former governor of Anambra State, said.

“We will resist rigging of elections by every lawful means in 2027.”

The former governor joined the ADC alongside his former supporters from the LP.

The Former Anambra State Governor came third in the 2023 General election and has been consistent in wanting to have a shot at the 2027 election under a bigger political platform

The only Governor of Labour Party and Governor of Abia state Alex Otti, has declined step to move with the former LP Presidential Candidate to ADC, insisting he is still a member of the Labour Party.
